I recently purchased this little loco from alistoyshed05 on Ebay, the loco is unlike any Mamod I've ever seen. The conversion from oscillating cylinders to slide valve cylinders has been meticulously carried out. The Loco is a superb performer, with lots of pulling power and control, easily pulling a very long train of heavily loaded open wagons and a rake of heavily built wooden 16mm coaches. Paintwork on the loco is a little tired, loco has already benefited from a set of nickel silver cylinder covers and will have side tank overlays added in due course prior to a partial repaint.
The photos below take a close look at some of the interesting modifications which have been carried out.

There's also a short video of the loco running on youtube here:
